'Oh December' - THE NEW SINGLE OUT NOW!
info
This is the track we'd like to get into the iTunes Download chart this Winter...Download today and help us give 'Take That' a run for their money (god love em!)
It was recorded in Toy Box Studios this year and there's pics of me and the band recording it, in the gallery. The brass were arranged by Robin Davies (our bass player) and Lizz Lipscombe arranged the strings (our violinist). I love this track very much. It's how I feel about the month of December. It explodes into a medley of Christmasness at the end. One for the car journey somewhere in the month...Send in a review or write one on iTunes or Amazon. xxx

'The Live Album' - THE NEW ALBUM!
info
This album is a live recording of the fantastic gig we all performed at St George's Hall in Bristol. It features the JT strings (Lizz Lipscombe, Robin Davies and Kate Robey) and brass (Andy Davies, Matt Davies & Chris Sanders), A gospel choir made up of 'Original Sing' and 'The Barefoot Collective', Singer Songwriter Roger Tarry on electric guitar, Singer Songwriter Rob Bray on Percussion and Uke and Alphonse Daudet Touna on his African Marimba.
It was awarded a 'Top Banana' from Venue, declaring it one of the top 3 gigs of the South West of that year. It was sold out and it was possibly my favourite gig to date. So it's a real pleasure to be able to finally share it with you all.
It was recorded, mixed and engineered by Dave Lewis who came in at the very last minute..I only thought about recording the concert three days before!! I am so very very glad that I did.

'Violet' - FREE DOWNLOAD!
info
This track is FREE to download. It's our gift to you to say thank you for checking out the new website and for supporting the music. Without you turning up to gigs it doesn't work. We'd be playing to empty spaces and a bit of sorry looking furniture, and we'd much rather have an audience of smiling faces staring back at us and heckling now and then!!
This is a song I wrote for my friends Mandy and Mark who struggled to have a child for years and years. Then finally, after turning their lives upside down and holding on for what felt like an eternity, a beautiful baby girl was born. Mandy said she arrived in all her glory, all red and purple and screaming at the top of her lungs! So she decided there and then to call her violet.
She was the last little egg left to try and she came all the way from Africa.

Jane Taylor. Producer - Bill Lovelady
Montpelier (2005)
info
This is the debut album. It was made in a barn in Oxfordshire with the early JT Band and Award Winning Producer Bill Lovelady after Publisher Johnny Stirling suggested that they work together. It turned out to be a good match! The barn was freezing cold, as it was an ACTUAL barn, but Bill was right; the acoustics in there were amazing and they really helped create quite a special atmosphere for the whole album.
Johnnie Walker played the opening track 'Fall on Me' about twenty times on BBC Radio 2 and then invited me in to play a live session. It was the beginning of the journey outside into the world for me. The doodle is of the street where I wrote all the songs in Montpelier, Bristol.
